Learn one small skill every day

Bai Miao never expected that Gao Qiangsheng could invite a musician over.

But I always felt that the musician was still holding a grudge against him for refusing to let her join the band last time.

"Enough with the nonsense, fight me. You want the ticket, right? Beat me, and this guy's ticket is yours."

Just as Bai Miao was about to refuse, he heard a whooshing sound behind him.

“do”

A strange sound rang out, and Bai Miao turned his head to dodge an invisible shockwave.

Bai Miao did not deliberately hide his whereabouts. With Gao Qiangsheng's bunch of scoundrels, he wouldn't be able to find him even if he stood here.

But the musicians caught it.

"Carrying out a sneak attack?"

Bai Miao wears the Abyss Howl, obscuring his appearance from others. He also wears a ten-eyed hat, capable of inflicting mental harm on anyone who makes eye contact with him.

Considering that Gao Qiangsheng might be secretly recording him, and using this as a basis for his analysis, Bai Miao also covered himself with 3.14MHz to shield himself from interference from any electronic devices.

The musician also concealed himself well, his entire body wrapped in a black robe, holding a thin, long weapon resembling a musical note.

This should be her Aleph-class item, Dacapo.

"Let me see why you, an Aleph-level door knocker, are so highly regarded."

The musician's inexplicable competitiveness left Bai Miao feeling helpless, but it was also a good opportunity to assess the strength of the other Aleph-level knockers.

"Dang~"

Several syllables rang in Bai Miao's ears at the same time, and Bai Miao recognized that it was a chord.

The musician was so fast that he left an afterimage.

As the chords played, the musician moved closer to Bai Miao. At that moment, another slightly eerie chord rang in Bai Miao's ears, causing Bai Miao's body to stiffen briefly.

It even has control effects?

As expected, Dacapo has other abilities.

But such danger did not threaten Bai Miao. He simply took out his holy sword and held it horizontally in front of him, blocking all the musician's attacks.

The next moment, a series of chords sounded, forming a musical movement, and everything in the venue seemed to stir, with the musicians' power and speed increasing accordingly.

"Your item is quite powerful. It can not only enhance yourself, but also inflict negative effects such as control."

Despite Bai Miao's praise, the musician felt no joy whatsoever.

"I hope that when you're lying on the ground, you can still analyze things so casually."

The musician is the kind of person who brings his own background music during battles. Bai Miao felt his body was sometimes sluggish, sometimes tired, and sometimes dizzy.

Of course, the impact is not profound, at most making Bai Miao uncomfortable for about 0.1 seconds.

"Not many people can hold on for a whole movement; you certainly have exceptional talent."

The musician's tone also became somewhat serious; she realized that Bai Miao hadn't taken things seriously until now.

"This is my second movement."

After the musician reminded him, the entire tone became more exciting.

"Is the melody gradually reaching its climax?"

Bai Miao listened to several sections: "Was this score included with the equipment, or did you write it yourself?"

The musician paused for a moment, then honestly replied, "I wrote it myself."

“You could actually lower the tone here and then proceed with the process.”

The musician was stunned, then became furious.

"You still have the nerve to find fault with my sheet music?!"

"There's nothing I can do, it's just that you can't put any pressure on me."

Bai Miao wanted to provoke him further to see what the musician's trump card was.

"Alright! Then let me show you the power of the final chapter!"

The musician coughed a few times, and the music turned desolate and lonely. Bai Miao could even faintly hear human voices harmonizing.

Layers of frost gradually formed on Bai Miao's exposed skin, making the control effect stronger and able to restrain Bai Miao for about half a second.

Combined with the musician's agility, that half-second is enough to decide the outcome when dealing with an ordinary person.

Bai Miao finally felt a little pressure.

Without using advanced items or his own skills, relying solely on his current attribute values ​​to deal with a veteran Aleph-class holder is indeed quite difficult.

Chapter 218 Whose Child Is It?

"Is there any ruthless work out there?"

Bai Miao estimated that it was about time.

"You should get through this first!"

The musician saw Bai Miao's furrowed brows and was secretly delighted, thinking that he could finally teach this guy who got the Aleph-level item later than him a lesson.

They actually dared to reject my application to join the team.

You'll regret it!

Bai Miao, however, was plotting how to win.

"Just use Abyss Howl," Bai Miao thought, worried he might blow the musician's head off.

The fact that the sense of murderous intent was never triggered indicates that the musician really only intended to beat him up to vent his anger, and had no intention of killing him.

I'll just beat her up myself.

But hearing how happily the musician was playing, Bai Miao thought he couldn't let her lose too quickly.

"Your built-in background music is certainly cool, but if I make you unable to make a sound, will your prop still have the same effect?"

The musician said dismissively, "I'd like to see how you're going to silence me."

"Shhh."

Bai Miao activated the first skill of silence, absorbing all the sounds around him into silence.

Ever since Bai Miao learned that the Silence skill would no longer provide a silence effect when fully charged, he has kept it at 50% charge.

This gives you the option to either unleash the stored energy or continue absorbing the surrounding sounds.

The silence brought about by silencing is extremely torturous. When Bai Miao first used silencing, he was also somewhat uncomfortable due to the sensory loss of hearing.

This was even after Bai Miao had been mentally prepared.

The musician suddenly found herself in complete silence, and she felt fear.

She found that she could not hear any sound.

Whether it's the performance of props or one's own breathing and heartbeat.

I can't hear anything anymore.

She wanted to shout and question Bai Miao about what he had done.

But no matter how she called out, not a sound came out.

Without sound, both the amplification and the negative effects brought about by Dacapo also dissipated.

Bai Miao noticed that the musician's movements had visibly slowed down.

Bai Miao stood up and kicked the musician in the side, sending her crashing into a load-bearing pillar on that floor, leaving a shallow dent.

The musician struggled to his feet, and Bai Miao raised his fist again, aiming a punch at the musician's face.

The musician instinctively raised his hand to block, but a sharp pain shot through his abdomen.

She arched her back, the pain almost making her faint.

Bai Miao also canceled the silencing effect at this moment: "I've already warned you not to be used as a pawn. Think about it carefully, do you really need to fight me?"

Seeing the musician kneeling on the ground clutching his stomach, Bai Miao asked again, "How much blood is left?"

The musician, panting, said weakly, "3...3 points of stamina."

"Oh, then I won't play."

With only 3 points of stamina, you're basically dead after just one touch.

Bai Miao squatted down in front of the musician: "Did you put all your attribute points into mental power?"

"And agility and stamina..."

The musician was in so much pain that he could barely speak: "You... how did you manage to make all the sounds disappear?"

"you guess."

"It's...it's the effect of an Aleph item, right? Only an item of the same level could be effective against an Aleph-level item like me, even completely countering it...hiss..."

The musician sat down against a pillar: "I admit I lost, and I accept that you won't let me join... but can you tell me under what circumstances you would let me join your team?"

"After we get to know each other better."

"You only listened to a few passages, but you could tell where my score needed improvement. You must have a background in music, and your musical skills are pretty good too. Am I right?"

Unfortunately, all of them were skills I drew.

Seeing Bai Miao remain silent, the musician thought she had guessed correctly, so she continued, "Since you are also involved in music, and are so proficient in classical music, then your identity is already quite limited."

"So? You're saying you already know who I am?"

"No, I would say we might know each other."

As he spoke, the musician put away the black robe he was using to conceal himself; this thing must also be a concealment tool.

Upon seeing the musician's true appearance, Bai Miao clicked his tongue.

Whose child is this?

The musician looked to be only 14 or 5 years old.
